That's the beauty if the free market. I can buy from whomever I please, even fictitious relatives of people who make stuff up trying to defend bloated, government subsidized farming. And I really don't care. I make enough money to buy the things I please. If I want to feed my son milk without synthetic hormones in it, that's my business. But I don't have to passively accept comments from people who declare I am dependent on Monsanto to eat. I can call it baloney, because it is.

Believe what you will, they were our guest for Thanksgiving. Driving a brand new F250.

I'm not trying to defend anything. My father hated any govenment involvment, and we resisted it as long as we could. If I were still farming, I'd be selling organic.

I'm laughing at your foolishness.

What got me started with you was your "Baloney" assertion that somehow growing organic doesn't affect how many people we can feed.

I left farming 20 years ago. At that time the total corn crop was a little under 7 B bushels. Today, 20 years later, on less ground, using fewer inputs, we produce over 12 billion. That all came from conventional farming. Organic farming would produce about 4 billion poor quality, not 12.

Go spend your money, more power to you, but don't spread the lie that everyone can do organic. They can't
